The present invention relates to the anti-seismic field of building structures, in particular to a resilient prestress-free steel structure formed by combining pin-ended columns with elastic centering beam.

China is one of the earthquake-prone countries with the most severe earthquake disasters. Previous earthquake damage shows that a steel frame structure will generate severe plastic damage at beam-to-column joints and column base joints in an earthquake, which contributes to post-earthquake severe residual deformation of the integral structure, such that it is hard to repair the structure. The original structure has to be pushed down to be reconstructed, such that the time and cost needed by reconstruction are increased remarkably. Therefore, an idea of a current seismic design of the building structure is transformed from previous anti-collapse design into recoverable design. A self-centering structure is a novel structural system capable of achieving quick post-earthquake recovery of the structure. The technical concept lies in that an extra prestress unit (a prestress wire and the like) is arranged in the beam-to-column joint to apply prepressing action (as shown in the FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) to the beam. Under smaller earthquake action, a contact surface of a prepressed component keeps relatively large connecting rigidity by means of the prepressing action to resist the earthquake action. Under a larger earthquake, when an internal force generated on the contact surface exceeds the prepres sing action, the prepressed component can be decompressed to release the rigidity of the connecting surface and reduce the earthquake action and the internal force of a main structure, such that the main structure is prevented from suffering plastic damage. Earthquake energy is dissipated by an energy dissipating unit and residual deformation of the structure is overcome by the prestress unit to achieve self-centering structure after the earthquake. It can be known from the characteristics of the self-centering structure that the post-earthquake recovery of structure is still dependent on a prestress technology substantially, which will cause the following problems specifically.

(1) Complex construction: it is needed to apply prestress to the beam and column component at the construction site by the conventional self-centering structure, such that the field construction difficulty is increased and the construction period is prolonged, which cannot reflect the construction advantage of quick assembly of the steel structure fully.

(2) Poor anti-shear performance: the shear capacity of the beam-to-column component is fully dependent on a friction force at a rotating center after decompression between the beam and column components, the anti-shear force is low in reliability, and it is easy to produce a safety risk of slippage of the steel beam due to disable shear resistance in case of loss of prestress.

(3) Inharmonious with deformation of a floor slab: when the beam and column component is decompressed, as the rotating center is changed at the upper and lower flanges of the beam continuously, the floor slab is cracked severely (as shown in the FIG. 2) under an action of hogging moment (the upper flange of the beam is stretched), which is hard to repair the floor slab after the earthquake. The effect of restraint of the floor slab will further reduce the energy dissipating capacity of the energy dissipating unit arranged at the upper flange of the beam.

(4) Reduction of seismic energy dissipation capacity: the key technical requirement of the conventional self-centering structure lies in that the self-centering bending moment formed by the prestress of the prestress unit needs to be greater than a reverse bending moment generated by the internal force of the energy dissipating unit, such that the energy dissipating capacity of the joint will be reduced remarkably, which leads to reduction of seismic effect of the joint.

(5) Large acceleration response: collision and impact of repeated decompression of the beam and column component of the conventional self-centering joint will cause abrupt change in rigidity of the beam-to-column joint to lead to increase of earthquake acceleration response increase of the structure, thereby aggravating damage of non-structural components.

(6) Weak self-centering ability of the integral structure: at present, existing self-centering technologies primarily stay at self-centering in the level of the beam-to-column joint, and it is shown by actual earthquake damage that the column base of the steel frame will generate severe plastic damage in the earthquake as well and induce remarkable residual deformation, and therefore, it is needed to put forward an effective self-centering technology of the structure from the level of the integral structure.

An object of the present invention is to provide a resilient prestress-free steel structure formed by combining pin-ended columns with an elastic centering beam, which solves the serial technical problems caused by adoption of prestress by the conventional self-centering steel structure substantially, thereby achieving post-earthquake self-centering from the level of the integral structure.

Further, the high strength bolt is manufactured by a 14.9-level high strength bolt.

A working principle of the present invention is as follows. Under a vertical load action, the suspended connector mainly bears a vertical shearing force at a beam-end. Under a small earthquake action, both the buckling restrained energy dissipating plate and the buckling restrained high strength steel bar are kept elastic and jointly bear a bending moment of the beam-end generated under the action of a horizontal earthquake. The suspended connector mainly bears an additional beam-end shearing force generated by the action of the horizontal earthquake. The buckling restrained energy dissipating plate yields to dissipate energy first (long arm of force and low yield strength) under medium and large earthquakes, the relative rotating rigidity of the beam-to-column joint is reduced, and the buckling restrained high strength steel bar (short arm of force and large elastic deformability) and the main structure are kept in an elastic state while the earthquake action of the structure is reduced. Post-yield second rigidity of the joint is increased while the buckling restrained high strength steel bar is arranged, which avoids a phenomenon of centralized transformation of a certain floor and reduces the post-earthquake residual deformation of the main frame. After the earthquake, by matching with a design of slotting two ends of the buckling restrained energy dissipating plate, a bolt pretightening force between the buckling restrained energy dissipating plate and the beam can be released after the earthquake. Internal force restraint to the cantilever segment I-shaped steel beam and the middle segment I-shaped steel beam is released by the energy dissipating plate via a chute. The joint is self-centered by means of the elastic restoring force of the buckling restrained high strength steel bar. Matched with the characteristics that the bending rigidity of the bottom plate in the pin-ended box column base is weak and rotating deformation of the box type column cannot be restrained (as shown in the FIG. 9), integral prestress-free self-centering of the structure is achieved.

The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

(1) The steel tube is adopted to restrain the high strength screw to achieve the centering unit which behaves elastically in tension and compression and is not buckled. By matching with the buckling restrained energy dissipating plate slotted in two ends, a bolt pretightening force between the buckling restrained energy dissipating plate and the beam can be released after the earthquake. Internal force restraint to the cantilever segment I-shaped steel beam and the middle segment I-shaped steel beam is released by the energy dissipating plate via a chute. The joint is self-centered by means of the elastic restoring force of the buckling restrained high strength steel bar. The self-centering effect of the beam-to-column joint under a prestress-free condition is achieved.

(2) Matched use of the pin-ended column and the elastic centering beam is provided, so that severe plastic damage of the column base under a strong earthquake is avoided. Rigidity of the column base by the bottom plate is released by means of a characteristic that the bending rigidity of the bottom plate of the column base is weak. Integral self-centering of the joint and the column under the prestress-free condition is achieved by means of elastic restoring bending moment of the elastic centering beam unit.

(3) A structure of stretching the extended segments at two ends of the buckling restrained energy dissipating plate into the restraining steel plate is put forward to play role of restraining torsional deformation outside a plane of the cantilever segment I-shaped steel beam and the middle segment I-shaped steel beam effectively, thereby ensuring the integrity of the cantilever segment I-shaped steel beam and the middle segment I-shaped steel beam in the direction outside the plane under a bidirectional earthquake effectively and preventing the loss of energy dissipation and self-centering property due to torsional deformation of the beam segment.

(4) A prestress process at a construction site is removed, the construction efficiency of the integral structure is improved obviously, the problem of loss of prestress is solved and the reliability of structural resetting is improved.

(5) A shear capacity is provided by splicing angle iron on the top of the upper flange of the beam, such that a problem that a conventional self-centering joint is ineffective in shear resistance as vertical shear force transfer dependent on friction force is solved.
